Gjurgjica Badzakova-TrajkovResearch Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience, Department of Psychology, The University of Auckland, Auckland, New ZealandNeuropsychologia 49:2896-903. 2011

..The results do not support the notion that the observed association between magical ideation, creativity and hand preference has a neuropsychological explanation based on reduced cerebral lateralization...

An ERP investigation of the Stroop task: the role of the cingulate in attentional allocation and conflict resolution

Gjurgjica Badzakova-TrajkovResearch Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience and Department of Psychology, The University of Auckland, Auckland, NZ, New ZealandBrain Res 1253:139-48. 2009

..The later peak in the incongruent-congruent difference wave, originating in anterior cingulate, likely reflects identification (and subsequent resolution) of conflict in the two sources of information...

Cerebral asymmetries in monozygotic twins: an fMRI study

Gjurgjica Badzakova-TrajkovDepartment of Psychology, Research Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience, The University of Auckland, Auckland, New ZealandNeuropsychologia 48:3086-93. 2010

..Our data suggest that the same gene has no influence on right-hemisphere dominance for spatial judgment or face processing, and offer little support for mirror-imaging in MZ twins other than that due to chance...

Brain activity in bilingual developmental dyslexia: an fMRI study

Haeme R P ParkResearch Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience and Department of Psychology, The University of Auckland, Auckland, New ZealandNeurocase 18:286-97. 2012

..Findings also suggest that the additional activation observed in both of the bilinguals are similar, suggesting that these effects are not additive in the dyslexic bilingual...

..The data suggest that handedness and hemispheric dominance for speech production might be at least partly dependent on genetically controlled processes of axonal pruning in the corpus callosum...

Callosal tracts and patterns of hemispheric dominance: a combined fMRI and DTI study

Isabelle S HäberlingResearch Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience, Department of Psychology, The University of Auckland, Auckland, New ZealandNeuroimage 54:779-86. 2011

..The enhanced anisotropic diffusion in atypical hemispheric dominance implies that in these individuals the two hemispheres are more heavily interconnected...

The effects of redundant stimuli on visuospatial processing in developmental dyslexia

Gjurgjica Badzakova-TrajkovDepartment of Psychology, Research Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New ZealandNeuropsychologia 43:473-8. 2005

..This asymmetry was not found in age- and IQ-matched control children. The results are at least partially consistent with the notion of phonological dyslexia involving deficits in the transfer of information across the corpus callosum...
